Paul Warren Poems

When my grandfather saw horses
He was taken back to his youth, of course

Quietly he used to go and talk to them
...

How do we keep informed
Watching TV news services
Facebook grabs on your timeline
Perhaps like Donald Trump
...

At the end of the Great War
Families were torn apart
With 60,000 dead
There was not a family
...

I was watching the Soylent Green movie
With Charlton Heston made in 1973
The world was a mess with a population mass
From the effect of greenhouse gases
...

Lying in bed at the count down
Turning to the side to look around
At the clock as it slowly went
To six o'clock when it's time sent
...

The shirts, trousers and jacket hung
In my cupboard as the time had come
To pack away the uniform of my blue ways
When I was the one who wore it in my police days
...

Alliances you have
As you walk through life
People that you know as friends
Will come and go
...

I walked into the crowded room
With people raising glasses
It was smoky like the old days
And I thought that I was back
...

Too many nights alone
Drinking bourbon straight

Too many broken dreams
...

A secret society of hackers
Has released a video
That states NASA
Is about to say
